Presented by the Warner Stage Company and based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, the musical is set in 1959 Boston, Mass. It follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of "Robbin' Hood of the Old West," Jessica Cranshaw (Carol Merrill) is murdered during her opening night curtain call. It is up to Lt. Frank Cioffi (Matt Cornish), a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself.
